Earlier this month, WAAX confirmed that they had finished recording their next album and had received masters. When it arrives, it’ll follow up the band’s debut LP ‘Big Grief’, which arrived back in 2019.

They shared a string of covers in 2020, kicking off with a rendition of Julia Jacklin‘s ‘Pool Party’ in April, and performing Basement Jaxx‘s ‘Good Luck’ on triple j’s Like A Version segment in October.

In December of that year, they linked up with fellow Brisbanites DZ Deathrays to cover each other’s songs, WAAX taking on ‘Fired Up’ and DZ sharing a rendition of ‘F U’. A month earlier, they shared a collaboration with Illy titled ‘Cheap Seats’.

Last year, the band released their first new original music since ‘Big Grief’ arrived, sharing the single ‘Most Hated Girl’.
